Former senator Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor has back Bersatu's proposal for Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stay on as prime minister for a full term – despite his insistence that he must keep his promise to hand over power to Anwar Ibrahim.
The statement comes amid a feud between the PKR president and his deputy Mohamed Azmin Ali.
Ezam was formerly an opponent of Azmin's, but the duo reconciled last year.
